Systems and Methods for Troubleshooting Equipment Installation Using Artificial Intelligence

ABSTRACT

The disclosure is directed to, among other things, systems and methods for troubleshooting equipment installations using machine learning. Particularly, the systems and methods described herein may be used to validate an installation of one or more devices (which may be referred to as “customer premises equipment (CPE)” herein as well) at a given location, such as a customer&#39;s home or a commercial establishment. As one non-limiting example, the one or more devices may be associated with a fiber optical network, and may include a modem and/or an optical network terminal (ONT). However, the one or more devices may include any other types of devices associated with any other types of networks as well.

BACKGROUND

In some cases, field technicians may not follow proper procedure when performing equipment installation (for example, installing a network modem, or any other type of device, at a customer premises). This may lead to the customer experiencing issues with network connectivity as the equipment is not properly installed. This may also result in multiple technician visits to resolve the issue and activate the service for the customer. One potential solution to this problem is using quality assurance specialists to review photographs provided by technicians of equipment installation. These quality assurance specialists could then provide feedback about the installation to the technician so that the installation may be fully completed during the initial technician visit. The problem with this approach was that it is a manual process and is not scalable. Deploying quality assurance specialists in every market is time consuming and cost prohibitive. Additionally, the feedback provided by quality assurance specialists is not immediate and may even be provided after the technician has already left the customer location. Thus, even with the use of the quality assurance specialist, multiple technician visits may still be required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure is directed to, among other things, systems and methods for troubleshooting equipment installations using artificial intelligence. Particularly, the systems and methods described herein may be used to validate an installation of one or more devices (which may be referred to as “customer premises equipment (CPE)” herein as well) at a given location, such as a customer's home or a commercial establishment. As one non-limiting example, the one or more devices may be associated with a fiber optical network, and may include a modem and/or an optical network terminal (ONT). However, the one or more devices may include any other types of devices associated with any other types of networks as well.

In some cases, field technicians may not follow proper procedure when performing equipment installation (for example, installing a network modem at a customer premises). This may lead to the customer experiencing issues with network connectivity as the equipment is not properly installed. This may also result in multiple technician visits to resolve the issue and activate the service for the customer. One potential solution to this problem is using quality assurance specialists to review photographs provided by technicians of equipment installation. These quality assurance specialists could then provide feedback about the installation to the technician so that the installation may be fully completed during the initial technician visit. The problem with this approach was that it is a manual process and is not scalable. Deploying quality assurance specialists in every market is time consuming and cost prohibitive. Additionally, the feedback provided by quality assurance specialists is not immediate and may even be provided after the technician has already left the customer location. Thus, even with the use of the quality assurance specialist, multiple technician visits may still be required.

In order to mitigate these potential issues that may arise in equipment installation, artificial intelligence may be used to validate the installations and provide feedback to the technician throughout the installation process (however, the same approach may be used for troubleshooting purposes even beyond the initial equipment installation as described below). In some cases, the validation process may involve the technician capturing one or more images and/or videos (the term “image data” may be used herein to refer to images and/or videos, including real-time videos) of the one or more devices after the one or more devices have been installed by the technician. The installation may involve physical installation of the one or more devices, such as connecting physical connectors. The installation may also involve software and/or firmware configuration, such as configuring certain settings associated with the one or more devices. As one non-limiting example, a technician may be performing an installation for a fiber optic network, and may be installing a modem and an optical network terminal (ONT) at a location. This example installation may involve connecting the ONT to a power outlet, splicing and connecting fiber lines within the media panel to the ONT and connecting an Ethernet line between the ONT and the modem.

In some embodiments, the one or more images and/or videos captured to validate the equipment installation may include captures of individual devices or groups of devices. Continuing the above non-limiting example, the captures may include the modem, the ONT, or the modem and the ONT. The one or more images and/or videos may also include captures of particular portions of individual devices. For example, a particular portion may include a fiber connection into and out of the ONT and/or a connection between the ONT and the modem. The one or more images and/or videos may also include captures of the lights flashing on the ONT (for example, status indicators). The captures may also include captures that may provide information about software or firmware configuration of the one or more devices. For example, the technician may capture an image or video of a list of settings that have been configured on the one or more devices (for example, in a fiber optic network an Ethernet wide area networking (EWAN) mode may need to be enabled at installation). In some cases, the captures may be performed using a mobile device including an application. The application may include a user interface that may display to the technician a view of the mobile device camera. The user interface may also provide information to the technician, such as guidance as to which devices and/or portions of devices should be captured. The application may be described in more detail with respect to FIGS. 1-2.

In some embodiments, information may also be provided for analysis by the artificial intelligence outside of the image and/or video captures provided by the technician. For example, Telemetry (monitoring) data can be captured by the equipment itself and sent for analysis. Telemetry data may provide information on the status of the equipment on the network. Such telemetry data may be transmitted over the network for analysis in addition to any images and/or videos provided by the technician. In some cases, the telemetry data may provide information that may not otherwise be ascertainable through an image or video capture. For example, the telemetry data may provide additional information about software and/or firmware configurations.

In some embodiments, once the one or more captures are performed (for example, through the mobile device application or otherwise), the one or more captures may be analyzed using artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence may include any type of artificial intelligence, including, for example, machine learning, deep learning (for example, convolutional neural networks), and the like. Examples of convolutional neural networks may include regional CNN (R-CNN), fast regional CNN (fast R-CNN), faster regional CNN (Faster R-CNN), you only look once (YOLO), and/or single shot detection (SSD). The artificial intelligence may use image classification and/or object detection. The artificial intelligence may be implemented locally within the mobile device application itself, or may be maintained at a remote location, such as a remote server (or multiple server(s)). The artificial intelligence may receive the one or more captures as inputs, and, using the one or more captures, may identify potential issues with the installation of the one or more devices. For example, the artificial intelligence may identify that a specific connector was not properly connected to a device (this may be illustrated in FIG. 1B), or the artificial intelligence may identify that a setting was not enabled or disabled in software of a device.

In some cases, the artificial intelligence may be pre-trained before being implemented to perform real-time analyses. The pre-implementation training may be performed by providing input data to the artificial intelligence algorithm, while also indicating what the corresponding output(s) should be for the given input data. For example, the input data may be one or more pre-captured images and/or videos of one or more devices as described above. The artificial intelligence may be provided with corresponding outputs for the input data, such that the artificial intelligence may develop an understanding of captures that may be indicative of an issue with the installation. For example, the artificial intelligence may be provided with an image of an ONT with a physical connector that is improperly connected. The artificial intelligence may also be provided with the information that the physical connector in the image is improperly connected. Specifically, in some cases, the image may include one or more labels associated with each of the connectors in the image, where individual labels may provide information about an associated connector. For example, one label may indicate that a particular connector is completely connected, and a second label may indicate that another connector is only 50% connected. The artificial intelligence system may use the correlation between the image and the known issue in the image to build its understanding of what improper physical connections may look like in an image. This, however, is merely one example of how the artificial intelligence may be trained, and the artificial intelligence may also be trained using any other suitable input data. Additionally, the artificial intelligence may also be continuously trained even after being implemented as well. That is, the artificial intelligence may be pre-trained before being implemented to analyze actual equipment installations to establish a baseline understanding of potential installation issues, but may continue to be trained while analyzing actual equipment installations. In this manner, the artificial intelligence may become more effective at identifying potential issues with equipment installations over time as more and more input data is provided to the artificial intelligence (for example, as more and more data is provided for the artificial intelligence to analyze).

Additionally, the images and/or videos used for training the artificial intelligence may be taken from different angles, in different lighting conditions, and at different levels of zoom. The training may also involve parameter tuning. As a first example, data augmentation may be performed on the images and/or videos used for training purposes. For example, data augmentation may involve a random horizontal flip, a random vertical flip, a random 90 degree rotation, a random image scaling, a hue/saturation/brightness change, or an RGB to grayscale change. As a second example, parameter tuning may involve changing a filter size. A filter may move across the image or video to scan the image or video. Using smaller videos may lead to increases in processing time required by the AI. As a third example, parameter tuning may involve changing a stride value. A stride value may be a number of pixels that a filter moves by in each step. Increasing the stride value by a single value may reduce processing time by up to 50%. As a fourth example, parameter tuning may involve changing a batch size. A batch size may include a number of images processed in one pass of data. A larger batch size may require more memory but may also provide a more optimal solution. As a fifth example, parameter tuning may involve dropout regularization, which may help reduce overfitting. Any other parameter tuning may also take place before the AI is implemented in real-time or during operation of the AI in real-time as well.

In some embodiments, once the artificial intelligence algorithm has completed an analysis of any received images and/or videos, one or more instructions may be provided back to the mobile device. An instruction, for example, may be any instruction that may be used to remedy an issue with the one or more devices. An example instruction may include an instruction for the technician to perform an action with respect to the one or more devices. For example, an action may include re-connecting or adjusting a connector that is determined to be improperly connected, enabling or disabling a setting on the one or more devices, and/or any other action that may be used to remedy an issue with the one or more devices. An instruction may also include a request for the technician to provide a subsequent image and/or video capture of the one or more devices such that the artificial intelligence may determine whether the identified issue with the equipment installation has been properly addressed. For example, if the artificial intelligence initially determined that there was an issue with a physical connector to the ONT, the artificial intelligence may analyze the subsequent image or video to determine if the connector issue has been addressed. In some cases, guidance may be provided to the technician through the mobile device application. For example, the application may display on the user interface an indication of a particular issue with the equipment installation that was identified by the artificial intelligence. The application may also provide guidance as to how the identified issue may be remedied, as well as how the subsequent images and/or videos should be captured to provide back to the artificial intelligence for subsequent validation. For example, the user interface may provide textual information to the technician, may provide visual information, or any other types of information. For example, the application may present a view of the camera (which may include the one or more devices) on the display of the mobile device, and may provide an augmented reality overlay over the particular physical component that was identified as being problematic (for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1B). This may help visually identify for the technician the specific portion of the one or more devices that was improperly installed. The application may also display for the technician a visual representation of how the portion would look if properly installed. For example, if it is determined that a connector is not fully connected to a device, the application may display an image of what a fully connected connector may look like. In some cases, this may be overlaid over the actual connector being presented based on the view of the camera of the mobile device. Furthermore, in some cases, the augmented reality and other information displayed for the technician may be presented in real-time. That is, the technician may not necessarily need to capture an image and/or video of the equipment to send for analysis by the AI. Rather, the technician may simply point a camera of the mobile device (for example, smartphone or the like) running the application at the equipment, and the analysis of the equipment installation may be performed in real-time. The instructions, augmented reality overlays, etc. may be displayed over the real-time video feed being produced by the camera of the mobile device and presented to the technician on the screen of the mobile device through the application.

In some embodiments, an instruction may also include a request for the technician to provide additional images and/or videos. For example, the artificial intelligence may determine that the images and/or videos initially provided do not meet a threshold quality level (for example, an image may be too blurry for analysis). The artificial intelligence may also determine that the images and/or videos may not include some or all of the devices installed during the equipment installation or may not include specific portions of the one or more devices. For example, during a fiber optic installation, a common issue that may occur during installation is an improper connection being made to the ONT. Thus, if the images and/or videos do not include the connection to the ONT, the artificial intelligence may provide an instruction to the mobile device indicating that a subsequent image or video should be provided that does include the particular connection.

In some cases, the systems and methods described herein may also be applied in context beyond equipment installation as well. That is, the systems and methods described herein may be used for troubleshooting purposes even beyond the installation period. For example, if a customer is experiencing a problem with the one or more devices at any time, the customer may take one or more images and/or videos of the one or more devices and may similarly provide the one or more images and/or videos to the artificial intelligence for analysis. The artificial intelligence may then provide similar feedback to the customer that may have been provided to a technician as described above. To this end, the customer may also have a mobile device application that may allow them to perform the captures, provide the captures to the artificial intelligence, and receive instructions from the artificial intelligence. Additionally, in some embodiments, some adjustments made to the one or more devices to correct for an issue (during installation or otherwise) may be performed without the use of a technician as well. For example, in some cases, an issue with one or more devices may include a software, firmware, or other type of issue that may not relate to a physical component of a device. The AI could detect whether the device has the correct/latest version of firmware/software. If the wrong software/firmware were installed, the AI could trigger an automatic push of the correct firmware to the device.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example use case 100. The example use case 100 may illustrate one non-limiting example of how the artificial intelligence described herein may be used to assist a technician in properly completing an equipment installation (or may be used for troubleshooting purposes by a user even after the equipment installation is completed). The use case 100 may begin at scene 102. Scene 102 may depict a user 108 (for example, a technician, a customer, or any other type of user) at a location 101 (for example, a customer premises, a commercial location, or any other location where an equipment installation may be performed). The user 108 may have a mobile device 104 that may include an application. The equipment installation may involve installing one or more devices at the location 101. As one non-limiting example, the one or more devices may be associated with a fiber optical network, and may include a modem (not depicted in the figure) and/or an ONT 106. However, the one or more devices may include any other types of devices associated with any other types of networks as well. The installation may involve physical installation of the one or more devices, such as connecting physical connectors (for example, connector 109). The installation may also involve software and/or firmware configuration, such as configuring certain settings associated with the one or more devices, although software and/or firmware configuration may not necessarily be depicted in the particular use case 100.

The scene 102 may also illustrate aspects of the mobile device application. The application may include a user interface 110 that may present to the user 108 a view of a camera of the mobile device 104. As such, the application shown in scene 102 may depict the ONT 106 and the connector 109. The user interface 100 may also provide information 116 to the technician, such as guidance as to which devices and/or portions of devices should be captured. The guidance may be in any form, such as a textual indication, an audio indication (such as audio stating that the user 108 should capture certain devices and/or portions of devices), a visual indication (for example, a virtual overlay placed over the certain devices and/or portions of devices, such as the overlay 114 depicted in scene 120), and/or any other type of indication. The application may also display a visual representation of how the connector 109 would look if properly installed. For example, if it is determined that a connector 109 is not fully connected to the ONT 106, the application may display an image of what a fully connected connector 109 may look like. In some cases, this may be overlaid over the actual connector 109 being presented based on the view of the camera of the mobile device. The user 108 may then capture one or more images and/or videos of the ONT 106, and the one or more images and/or videos may be provided to the artificial intelligence system (not illustrated in the figure). The artificial intelligence may be implemented locally within the mobile device application itself, or may be maintained at a remote location, such as a remote server (or multiple server(s)).

The use case 100 may continue with scene 120. Scene 120 may involve the mobile device 104 receiving an instruction from the artificial intelligence after the artificial intelligence has analyzed the one or more images and/or videos provided by the mobile device in scene 102. An instruction, for example, may be any instruction that may be used to remedy an issue with the one or more devices. An example instruction may include an instruction for the user 108 to perform an action with respect to the one or more devices. For example, an action may include re-connecting or adjusting the connector 109 of the ONT 106 that is determined by the artificial intelligence to be improperly connected. Based on the instruction, the application of the mobile device 104 may present certain information to the user 108. For example, the user interface 110 of the application may display textual information 122 indicating that a component has been incorrectly installed in the ONT 106 (in this case, for example, the connector 109 has been improperly installed). The textual information 122 may also indicate specific portions of the ONT 106 that were incorrectly installed, such as the connector 109. The user interface 110 may also present one or more selectable elements 124. The selectable elements 124, for example, may include a button on the user interface 110 that the user 108 may select to indicate that they have resolved the issue identified by the artificial intelligence. For example, in the scene 120, the user 108 may select the selectable element 124 to indicate that the issue with the connector 109 has been resolved. Such selectable elements may also be used with the application at other times and for other purposes as well. For example, although not depicted in the use case 100, the user interface may also present selectable elements on the user interface 110 during any of the other scenes (scene 102, scene 140, and/or scene 160). For example, in scene 102, the user interface 110 may present a selectable element that the user 108 may select to indicate that the one or more images and/or videos have been captured and should be provided to the artificial intelligence for analysis.

The use case 100 may continue with scene 140. Scene 140 may involve the application of the mobile device 104 providing an indication to the user 108 to capture one or more subsequent images and/or videos of the one or more devices. For example, scene 140 may specifically depict the user interface 110 of the application displaying a textual notification 116 to the user 108 to capture the one or more images and/or videos. In some cases, the application may also provide guidance to the user 108 to assist the user 108 in properly capturing the one or more images and/or videos. For example, the user interface 110 may present a virtual overlay 114 over the particular physical component that was identified as being problematic. In this case, the virtual overlay 114 may be presented over the ONT 106 to highlight This may help visually identify for the technician the specific portion of the one or more devices that was improperly installed.

Finally, the use case 100 may proceed to scene 160. Scene 160 may involve the application of the mobile device 104 presenting an indication that the issue with the equipment installation identified by the artificial intelligence has been resolved. For example, the user interface 110 may present a textual indication 116 that the connector 109 of the ONT has been correctly installed. The indication, however, may be provided in any other suitable manner, such as an audio notification, an updated virtual overlay (for example, the overlay may change colors from red to green), or any other form of notification to the user 108 that the issue has been resolved. In some cases, the artificial intelligence may identify multiple issues with an equipment installation.

FIG. 1B illustrates an example application interface 180. For example, the application interface 180 may provide one example of information that may be presented to a user (such as a technician) through an application user interface, such as the user interface 110 presented on the mobile device 104 of the use case 100 described with respect to FIG. 1A. This figure may depict an example of equipment that is being installed and/or has already been installed. In this example, the equipment may include multiple connectors (for example, first connector 181, second connector 182, third connector 183, and fourth connector 184). Given that a technician may be installing the equipment (for example, attaching the connectors), there may be inconsistencies in the way the equipment is installed (for example, some connectors may be more securely connected than others). As described above with respect to the use case 100, to remedy this, a technician may capture an image and/or video of the equipment to be analyzed for defects in the equipment installation. Once the analysis is complete, information may be provided to the technician. For example, an image or video may be presented on the user interface of the mobile device including bounding boxes around the different connectors that may provide information pertinent to the individual connectors. For example, the second connector 182 may be provided with a first bounding box 187 that may include first information 188. The first information 188 may indicate a percentage defect of the connector. For example, the first information 188 may indicate that the second connector 182 is only 91% attached. As another example, the first connector 181 may be provided with a second bounding box 185 that may include second information 186. The second information 186 may indicate that the first connector 181 is only 70% attached. This may also be performed in real-time, such that the user may simply point a camera of their mobile device (for example, smartphone or the like) at the equipment, and a live video feed of the equipment may be displayed on the user interface 110 of the mobile device 104. That is, instead of an analysis being performed by a remote system and images and/or videos being returned and displayed on the user interface 110 of the mobile device 104, the first bounding box 187 and second bounding box 185 may be displayed on the user interface 110 in real-time as augmented reality elements. Thus, as the user pans the camera of the mobile device 104 in different directions, the augmented reality elements may remain attached to their associated equipment components. For example, the second bounding box 185 may remain displayed over the first connector 181. Additionally, in some cases, unique indications may be presented to the user when a component defect is below a threshold percentage. For example, a threshold margin of error for installation of the connectors depicted in the figure may be 10%. In this example, the second connector 182 and third connector 183 may be within the acceptable margin of error because they are over 90%. However, the first connector 181 and fourth connector 184 may be outside of this acceptable margin of error. The first connector 181 and fourth connector 184 may be outside of this acceptable margin of error and may be indicated to the user in any number of different manners. For example, the bounding box and/or information provided with respect to the first connector 181 and fourth connector 184 may be a different size, color, etc. than the bounding box and/or information provided with respect to the second connector 182 and third connector 183. The first connector 181 and fourth connector 184 being outside of this acceptable margin of error may also be indicated in any other number of manners, such as the mobile device application providing an auditory warning, highlighting the first connector 181 and fourth connector 184 using augmented reality, or any other type of indication. In some cases, instructions may be provided to the user on how to remedy the specific issues with the first connector 181 and fourth connector 184. For example, textual instructions may be presented on the mobile device application that may instruct the user to screw the connectors in tighter. As a second example, auditory instructions may be provided to the user. As a third example, augmented reality elements may be presented that may visualize for the user how to fix a problem with a specific component, or an augmented reality overlay of what a correctly installed component would look like may be presented. For example, an augmented reality element showing the first connector 181 screwed in further may be presented over the first connector 181 itself on the user interface 110.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example system 200. In some embodiments, the system 200 may include one or more devices 202, one or more mobile devices 210 that may be associated with one or more users 211, and one or more remote servers 220.

In some embodiments, the one or more devices 202 (which may also be referred to as “customer premises equipment (CPE)” herein) may be any devices that may be installed at a given location, such as a customer's home or a commercial establishment. As one non-limiting example, the one or more devices 202 may be associated with a fiber optical network, and may include a modem and/or an optical network terminal (ONT). However, the one or more devices 202 may include any other types of devices associated with any other types of networks as well. The installation may involve physical installation of the one or more devices 202, such as connecting physical connectors. The installation may also involve software and/or firmware configuration, such as configuring certain settings associated with the one or more devices 202.

In some embodiments, the one or more mobile devices 210 may be any device that may be used by one or more users 211 to perform any of the operations described herein. For example, a mobile device may be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or any other type of device. A user 211 may be, for example, a technician performing an installation of the one or more devices 202, a customer who may be using the one or more devices 202 after the installation, or any other user. A mobile device may also include one or more application(s) 216. The application may include a user interface that may display to the technician a view of the mobile device camera.

In some embodiments, the one or more remote servers 220 may store artificial intelligence that may be used to analyze any images and/or videos provided captured by a mobile device 210 (however, in some cases, the artificial intelligence may also be implemented in the one or more devices 202 and/or the one or more mobile devices 210 as well). The artificial intelligence may also be used to analyze any other information provided about the one or more devices 202 (during installation or even subsequent to installation), such as any signals provided by the one or more devices 202 to the one or more remote servers 220. The artificial intelligence may include any type of artificial intelligence, including, for example, machine learning, deep learning, and the like. The artificial intelligence may be implemented locally within the mobile device application itself, or may be maintained at a remote location, such as a remote server (or multiple server(s)). The artificial intelligence may receive the one or more captures as inputs, and, using the one or more captures, may identify potential issues with the installation of the one or more devices. For example, the artificial intelligence may identify that a specific connector was not properly connected to a device, or the artificial intelligence may identify that a setting was not enabled or disabled in software of a device. The artificial intelligence may be pre-trained before being implemented to perform real analyses. In some cases, the pre-implementation training may be performed by providing input data to the artificial intelligence algorithm, while also indicating what the corresponding output(s) should be for the given input data. For example, the input data may be one or more pre-captured images and/or videos of one or more devices as described above. The artificial intelligence may be provided with corresponding outputs for the input data, such that the artificial intelligence may develop an understanding of captures that may be indicative of an issue with the installation. For example, the artificial intelligence may be provided with an image of an ONT with a physical connector that is improperly connected. The artificial intelligence may also be provided with the information that the physical connector in the image is improperly connected. The artificial intelligence system may use the correlation between the image and the known issue in the image to build its understanding of what improper physical connections may look like in an image. This, however, is merely one example of how the artificial intelligence may be trained, and the artificial intelligence may also be trained using any other suitable input data. Additionally, the artificial intelligence may also be continuously trained even after being implemented as well. That is, the artificial intelligence may be pre-trained before being implemented to analyze actual equipment installations to establish a baseline understanding of potential installation issues, but may continue to be trained while analyzing actual equipment installations. In this manner, the artificial intelligence may become more effective at identifying potential issues with equipment installations over time as more and more input data is provided to the artificial intelligence (for example, as more and more data is provided for the artificial intelligence to analyze).

Any of the elements of the system 200 (for example, one or more devices 202, one or more mobile devices 210, and one or more remote servers 220) may include one or more processors (for example, processor(s) 204, processor(s) 212, processor(s) 222, or any other processor(s)) that may include any suitable processing unit capable of accepting digital data as input, processing the input data based on stored computer-executable instructions, and generating output data. The computer-executable instructions may be stored, for example, in the data storage (for example, data storage 207, data storage 215, and/or data storage 225, or any other data storage) and may include, among other things, operating system software and application software. The computer-executable instructions may be retrieved from the data storage and loaded into the memory (for example, memory 206, memory 214, memory 224, or any other memory) as needed for execution.
